Amazing Experience and Guide - Our guide François was outstanding. Not just knowledgeable, but very passionate about the Louvre and the exhibits, he brought it all to life for us. I know very little about art and François taught me a lot in just a short time.

Fantastic storytelling - Paloma made this visit worthwhile. Very natural storytelling with a feel like she tailored the trip based on our interest. I highly recommend it and it would not recommend visiting the place in any other form than this.

The Louvre more than I expected - Excellent experience Sunday was very helpful and has a tons of knowledge to share. I would take another tour with her without doubt. We avoided crowds by seeing interesting pieces that people ignore and when we head to the main point of interest she showed us how to navigate and enjoy the pieces properly

Great Louvre tour w Miriam - We had an outstanding experience touring the Louvre with Miriam as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable. I also loved the fact that she was interested in what we wanted to focus on and made it a point to emphasize the era and/or artwork. I would absolutely love to do a tour with Miriam again.

Unexpected Private Tour - I met Nadia right on time. Because the other participants canceled, I had a "private" tour. It was excellent. Nadia was a wealth of Information and was able to answer every question I posed. What really impressed me was her concern for others. She didn't hesitate in stopping to assist those with accessibility issues. I highly recommend Bablyon Tours and will book them again for my next European vacation.

Guided tour of the Louvre with Manu - We had a wonderful time with our friendly and warmly engaging guide Manu. He expertly steered us through the labyrinthine Louvre and its vast collection, stopping at carefully curated points along the way. His deep knowledge of art history enriched our experience and provided invaluable context and insight to the great works we viewed. We would happily return for another guided tour with Manu.

Art, History tour was a masterpiece. - Ivana was a fantastic guide. Incredibly knowledgeable she kept the tour moving to ensure that we saw all the key parts of the museum. She was friendly and enthusiastic and made the tour engaging. The Louvre is an absolute must for any tourist and a small group tour which allows you to skip the queue and learn so much more than wandering around on your own.
